Below is the list of state representatives of the Council for the school year 1957-58. The activity of the state representatives, working with the Committee on Membership, was an important factor in our increase of 2400 in number of members and subscribers during the 1956-57 school year. The indications at this point of the present school year are that we shall have another increase equal to, or greater than, this. We are much indebted to the state representatives for their support.

At the end of the first semester of the present school year a questionnaire was sent to each of the state representatives of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The 44 replies that have been received to date reveal some interesting data.

During most of its existence the Council has depended upon a group of state representatives. These persons are something like dollar-a-year people, except that they do not even get the dollar. About all the recognition they get is to have their names printed once each year in The Mathematics Teacher. The list of representatives and their addresses for the present school year is given below and on the following page.

Almost from its beginning The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has leaned upon a group of state representatives. The number of different state representatives who have served the Council during the thirty-four years of its existence is very great and our debt to them is incalculable.

This chapter first considers the means, from election to selection to nomination, by which IO leaders are (s)elected and the consequences of those methods. It is followed by a discussion on the qualities regarded as necessary for successful tenure, stressing the need for trust, expertise, and legitimacy. It then analyses the three roles that the leaders of IOs, to a greater or lesser extent, must play. They are diplomats dealing with state leaders and talking in international forums. They are politicians negotiating with the state representatives on a daily basis. They are managers heading an often large secretariat. How they balance these roles often determines their capacity to shape the outcomes of their organization.

The identity of young people, and the state of a school’s fulfilment of its tasks, as presented in the article, are based on the results of the author’s own field explorations carried out in the school year 2003/2004 and repeated in the same territory of the Silesian Voivodeship in the zone of intensive social and economic development in 2016/2017. The results of the research conducted have shown that schools brought young people with different personal and social resources, and living in different historical and socio-cultural contexts, to a similar value of identity capital. The study, conducted in two stages with an interval of 13 years, has revealed the greatest shifts in the following areas: extension of the range of interactions (change 13.2%); ambivalence (change 8.1%); revitalization (change 7.7%); and ethos (change 6.8%). The least change occurred in the provision of offers of identification (1.7% change). A slight decline was noted in the extension of the developmental moratorium (1.5% change). The identified, described and empirically verified tasks of a school form a specific map of educational activities, which can be successfully used as a matrix to describe and interpret a school’s participation in the shaping of young people’s identities.

The annual publication of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in the Middle States and Maryland became a quarterly journal called the Mathematics Teacher in 1908. W. H. Metzler, a professor at Syracuse University, served as its editor from its inception until it became the official journal of the newly formed National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in January 1921, with J. R. Clark as the new editor. In 1921, the present monthly schedule of publication for the school year was adopted.
